Vision & Ethos
Mission Statement
Glebe Farm School is an authentic and inclusive all-through school providing exceptional early years, primary and secondary education from September 2022. Located within the Glebe Farm area of Milton Keynes, our school will be the ‘beating heart’ of this new and developing community, eventually serving up to 1,569 children and young people from the immediate residential area and also nearby towns and villages. We provide unrivalled curriculum and enhancement opportunities, enabling pupils and students from all backgrounds to pursue their interests and fulfil their potential. We are part of Inspiring Futures through Learning (IFtL) Multi Academy Trust a family of schools, whose vision is to inspire the future of us all through learning together.
Vision and Ethos
Our vision for the children and young people we teach, their parents and carers, and the wider communities we support, is to deliver an exceptional 21st century, comprehensive and universal all-through learning experience that will unlock every individual’s potential.
We equip pupils from the age of 3-16 with the knowledge, skills, characteristics and emotional intelligence to become well-rounded, responsible and fulfilled citizens with the highest levels of integrity; and the ability to stand up for what is right.
Our ambition is to grow and nurture articulate thinkers who have a genuine love of learning and create independent, energetic learners who are able to think critically and overcome barriers.
Our curriculum promotes opportunity, raises aspirations, insists on a strong sense of belonging, promoting creativity, opening their eyes to the world beyond their immediate environment, enabling children and young people to live happy, healthy and productive lives, that inspires them to learn more.
As a centre of innovation, equipped with the latest education technology, and a commitment to outstanding pastoral support, we offer every learner the tools to be successful in the ever evolving and challenging modern world.
At Glebe Farm School, our vision is underpinned by a clear and unremitting ethos:
- We will value the way in which each child is unique; celebrating diversity and valuing the importance of each other within our community.
- We demonstrate the highest standards of respect and empathy of others regardless of ability, gender, ethnicity or religion.
- We uphold high expectations around behaviour, nurtured in a high-trust environment which promotes independence.
- We are relentless in our endeavours to build secure relationships with each other based on mutual respect.
- We are here for all children, and all learning needs, and will provide personalised support whilst never compromising on raising aspirations for every learner.
This supportive and positive learning community allows pupils to be brave in facing challenges, overcome barriers, and be ambitious in their drive for success. We pride ourselves in having an ‘open door’ policy, and a welcoming approach for all.
Values
At Glebe Farm School we develop the characteristics of integrity, responsibility, endeavour, bravery and empathy in our staff and pupils. These core values permeate throughout our school and our curriculum.
- Integrity. To uphold the highest standards of honesty with the ability and desire to stand up for what is right; developing a strong moral compass that guides you to do the right thing when no one is watching.
- Responsibility. To take responsibility for your actions and choices; to make others feel valued and respected; to contribute and fully embrace our school community.
- Endeavour. To endeavour to always do your best to face the challenges of school life and beyond; to try for the sake of others as well as the individual; to be consistent in all we do and strive for greatness.
- Bravery. To be brave when taking risks and facing fears; to be a strength for others when they question their own strength; to remember, it is going to be hard, but hard is not impossible.
- Empathy. To have the ability to relate to, and connect with, others for the purpose of inspiring and empowering their lives; to demonstrate humility when supporting others to be able to see, hear and feel from the position of another.
